尽管收养家庭的数量越来越多，但很少有研究描述收养青少年的家庭之间的相互作用。然而，被收养的青少年出现适应问题的风险增加，结合非收养家庭中家庭互动与青少年适应之间的关系，提出了关于收养和非收养家庭互动差异的问题。我们比较了284个收养家庭和208个非收养家庭以及123个有1个收养青少年和1个非收养青少年的家庭中观察到的和自我报告的家庭互动。青少年平均年龄为14.9岁。采用SAS PROC MIXED中的分层线性方法进行方差分析，以控制数据中的家族相关关系。与非收养家庭相比，收养家庭的父母和孩子报告了更多的冲突。有1名收养和1名非收养青少年的家庭报告说，父母和被收养的青少年之间的冲突更多。观察到的父母行为在收养和非收养儿童中是相似的，尽管收养的青少年不那么温暖，在有两个收养孩子的家庭中，比非收养的青少年更容易发生冲突。这些发现表明有必要进一步调查家庭互动与青少年问题行为之间的关系。
Despite the large and growing numbers of adoptive families, little research describes interactions in families with adopted adolescents. Yet, adopted adolescents' increased risk for adjustment problems, combined with the association between family interactions and adolescent adjustment in nonadoptive families, raises questions about differences in adoptive and nonadoptive family interactions. We compared observed and self-reported family interactions between 284 adoptive and 208 nonadoptive families and within 123 families with 1 adopted and 1 nonadopted adolescent. Adolescents averaged 14.9 years of age. Comparisons were made using analysis of variance incorporating hierarchical linear methods in SAS PROC MIXED to control family-related correlations in the data. Parents and children reported more conflict in adoptive families when compared with nonadoptive families. Families with 1 adopted and 1 nonadopted adolescent reported more conflict between parents and adopted adolescents. Observed parental behavior was similar across adoptive and nonadoptive children although adopted adolescents were less warm and, in families with 2 adopted children, more conflictual than nonadopted adolescents. These findings suggest a need for further investigation of the association between family interactions and adopted adolescent problem behavior.
